Once again Huck is changing according to society. When the king and duke finally catch on and see that the money is gone, Huck says he never saw anyone else go into their room but by-and-by he puts the blame on the slaves that were just sold and he was " glad [he'd] worked it all off on the niggers, and yet hadn't done [them] no harm by it." So there is still a little bit of concern showing through his actions so maybe his realization of colored people that takes place on the water is slowly seeping into the life he has on land. This proves correct when he steals the money from the two frauds and talks to Mary Jane about leaving and helping him out with a plan to get them arrested. "The truth is better, and actually SAFER then a lie" he stated while debating if it was worth lying to Mary Jane again. Also another reason this theory is proved right is when Huck corrects his first thought of a good plan because it may harm Jim, so he would need to rescue him first.
I noticed though that at the end of chapter 29 Huck brings Tom Sawyer back into that story by meantioning that he could have done a better job putting together a more flowing and "[stylish]" plan or way of dealing with the situation. Does this have any signficance to the way he's changing?
